A storm is headed into Utah on Thursday night and Friday morning, and the big news isn’t what it will bring but what it will take away.the winter storm will drop maybe a couple of inches of snow — possibly more in some areas. But the big news is that it’s expected to stir up the air and clear out the inversions and at least some of the smog that has been plaguing northern Utah valleys.A trace to 2 inches of snow is in the forecast for valleys in northern Utah, and 3-7 inches in mountain passes.
The storm is not expected to make the air at lower elevations crystal clear, but it is expected to improve air quality. A 30% chance of snow after 5 p.m., with accumulation of less than half an inch possible.More snow likely — a 70% chance — mainly before 8 a.m., with accumulation of 1-3 inches possible.Once the Thursday-Friday storm moves out of Utah, there’s not another one in the forecast through the middle of next week.
Southern Utah is in even more of a weather rut. The Thursday-Friday storm won’t reach St. George, where the forecast is for sunny skies with highs in the mid-50s and overnight lows in the low 30s through Wednesday.
